Introduction Mammary gland development is controlled by the endocrine system, in particular by the ovarian steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, and by the pituitary hormones, growth hormone (GH) and prolactin. Studies in animal models showed that GH deficiency impairs mammary gland develo

2018-10-20

In 2D, the generation of confluent monolayers ahead of differentiation was noted to be critical for efficient cardiomyogenesis (Lian et al., 2013). This suggests that the cell density, which impacts on cell-cell contacts and the concentration of paracrine factors, plays a role. Lian et al. (2013) th

Introduction Cumulative lifetime hormone exposure as a result of natural menstrual cycles and exogenous hormone therapies is a strong determinant of increased breast cancer risk. Progesterone, an ovarian steroid hormone that peaks during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, promotes the expansi

Results Discussion Many small molecules, including two reported by our group (Lee et al., 2013b), have been suggested to be selectively toxic to PSCs. However, as described previously (Knoepfler, 2009), despite the high potency and efficacy of small molecules that target hPSC-specific genes (e

Taken together, our findings suggest that in PD, the heterozygous GBA-N370S mutation leads to the misprocessing of GCase, ER stress upregulation, and autophagic/lysosomal dysfunction in dopaminergic neurons. We propose that this combination of disturbances impairs protein homeostasis in dopamine neu

2018-10-20

Using both standard RNA-seq and RNA-seq lipoxygenase analysis, we identified UPF1-regulated transcripts that are good candidates to be direct NMD targets in hESCs. There was considerable overlap between these candidate NMD target transcripts expressed in hESCs with previously identified high-confid

Finally, we tested whether the B cell differentiation defect in the OsxCre;iDTR mutants could be rescued in vivo by intravenous administration of recombinant IL-7 and IGF-1. Both controls and mutants were subjected to daily injections of DT, DT + IL-7, or DT + IGF-1 for 12 days. At the end of the re

Remarkably, the changes described suggest that in vivo reprogramming-induced dedifferentiation renders a change at telomeres toward a more “juvenile” state, which in turn resembles that of ESCs and adult stem purchase GW788388 (see Figure 7). In this regard, we have previously described telomerase-
